After studies in mathematics and economics, he volunteered at a small rural school in India. He then returned to university, to complete his masters in economics and statistics at Toulouse School of Economics (TSE). Witnessing cancer cases in his close circle, he became a main contributor to the Epidemium community in 2017 through OpenCancer to provide added value on the quantitative part and thus take part in cancer research and the publication of research papers.
